'Aligning Our Will with His'
Ulisses Soares
" My dear friends, when we choose to let God be the most powerful influence in our life over our self-serving pursuits, we can make progress in our discipleship and increase our capacity to unite our mind and heart with the Savior."

Tom climbed up on my chest got right in my face with his face and then laid down. I guess this is his way of waking me up.

Apollo is in the yard and James cannot figure out how he is getting in. This is why he calls him Houdini.

Charlie finally got the penguin that I sent her. She is going to name her Macy.
Charlie & Macy

I have monthly notebooks where I keep journal notes, gospel study notes, my daily to do lists, a food diary and a spending diary along with inspirational quotes. I use the 5x7 Mead Five Star notebooks, until this year. I ordered a new brand. These are a little bigger and have less pages. 

I love all of the different colors

The swords I ordered for my lesson are too small so I ordered new ones. 

I began re-organizing the Christmas closet downstairs. but didn't get too far. Hopefully I will be able to finish sometime this week. I did get our bedroom back in order and washed our sheets and the bathroom rugs. 

James has been building fires just before we go to bed to keep the house warm during the night without having the heater on high. I told him we need them during the day too.

Armando is really struggling right now trying to fight for time with his kids. I feel like he is really being treated unfairly by Susan. It seems like all she wants from him is money.

I am discouraged about my low energy level and my swollen fingers on my left hand. We went to bed at a decent hour as we are leaving tomorrow at 6 am for the valley. James has an appointment with the neurosurgeon who operated on his brain, Dr. Wilson.

I paid my Citicard today.


Such a sweet lady
